There are currently 7 component manufacturers in game. This overview will provide a simple look at each, and their general characteristics.

ConnexT - Better Than Nothing. Bargain bin prices, but you get exactly what you pay for: garbage. Avoid unless you can't afford anything better. Wears out fast enough to make their barrel-bottom price something of a trap.

Octan - Budget Performance. Surprisingly good efficiency, power, and noise for the cost. Significantly tougher than, and superior to, ConnexT for slightly more money. Arguably the best balance of cost and performance for most parts.

Ventarii - Brute Durability. Even more durable than Octan components, but their durability comes at the cost of performance. More expensive than Octan overall, though only good if you don't want to replace parts often.

Arakaki - The Middle Ground. More efficient than Octan or Ventarii, and lower power usage, but more cost. Average noise output. A decent choice for most parts.

Xiao Sa - Efficient but Loud. Provides good efficiency and power usage in exchange for high noise output. Fairly durable as well, good for use in systems where noise doesn't matter. Overall good choice for your money.

Elander - Silence is Golden. One of the big fish, Elander components are efficient, low waste, and most importantly... *quiet*. The cost reflects the performance however, and a full Elander kit will quickly break the bank. A must-have for systems that need high performance and low noise.

Harris-Wilson - Performance over Stealth. The other big fish, H-W components are pure efficiency, noise be damned. Slightly less expensive than Elander on average, a perfect choice for noisy systems that need the most performance squeezed out of them. H-W kit will break the bank only slightly slower than Elander however.

Personal Note: Octan is probably the best Hap-Node for your money, unless you really need that 1% less Emission from the Elander model.

Personal Note: Once again Octan proves that cost doesn't always equal quality, with their 50c component only slightly beaten by the 80c Elander model.

Personal Note: Octan forming itself a trend of being the low cost powerhouse. 500c for marginal performance loss against the 625c H-W model.

Personal Note: This is where H-W really shines, their Micro-Computers just flatten the competition. If you can afford to, buy and install their M-Coms as soon as possible.

Modules. They make, or break, a ship. They can also break your bank, and with 15 modules (not including variants), you need to be sure what you're getting is worth it. Make your choice with the hard facts.

Personal Note: Pretty sure the GRA 5 grapple speed is a typo.

Personal Note: Not sure what "Generation Rate" is, but if it's a self-charging battery that's pretty neat.

Not yet, sorry.
